iWork and iMovie for iOS get trackpad support, iCloud file sharing

Apple late on Tuesday rolled out the latest updates to its iWork and iMovie apps for iPhone and iPad. All now offer full mouse and trackpad support, iCloud file sharing, and a number of other new features and improvements.

It took nearly ten years, but Apple has finally accepted and embraced the fact that many of us would like to pair a mouse or trackpad with an iOS device — iPad especially — when using it for extended periods.

Its latest iOS 13.4 release beefs up trackpad support in a big way, adding gestures, a much-improved pointer, and more. And now Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and iMovie can take full advantage of it.

The new updates add full mouse and trackpad compatibility, ironing out any kinks users may have run into before. It also paves the way for the glorious new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, which is scheduled to launch in May.

Here’s what else you can expect from these releases, according to Apple’s notes:
